Edd,
Stopped around the bouys racing a few years back for a bunch of reasons;
- My racing son and cruising kids have moved on,
- With 5 kids in various stages of college we needed to re-set monetarty
priorities,
- I was tired of switching out mains etc. and prepping the boat
- The boat was getting "beat up"
- I discovered the joys of long distance racing,
- I discovered the joys of short/double handed long distance racing
- I (re)discovered the joys of one-design racing,
Its a wonderful feeling being able to step aboard and head out for a looong
weekend knowing everything is clean and ready to go,
- I guess I'm getting old...
I have never regretted it.

Subject: Stus-List Transitioning from Racing to Cruising?
Listers,
Though I thought this day would never come (and I'm not saying it has
yet), but given the difficulties in lining up crew, keeping them committed on a
regular basis, and the costs, I'd like to know people's experiences in
transitioning from racing their C&C to a life of cruising.
Anyone here done it? Are you happy you did? I'm very curious to hear
your stories, including the successes and regrets, if any.
All the best,
Edd
